Newsrooms Consider Crisis At NewsTECHForum
In 2020, news executives have learned that they can’t take their eyes off left field for a moment with a global pandemic testing their most elaborate contingency plans, extreme weather accelerating and uncertainty seeping into every aspect of American life. How those leaders have adapted to cope with that reality is the subject of a panel, Pivoting the Newsroom to Crisis, kicking off TVNewsCheck’s NewsTECHForum event in December.
Ellen Crooke
Ellen Crooke, VP of news at Tegna; Brian Kennedy, SVP of global newsgathering at ABC News; and Barb Maushard, SVP of news at Hearst Television, will join TVNewsCheck Editor Michael Depp to examine how such newsroom pivots have been executed at both local and national news organizations. The panel will run on Tuesday, Dec. 15 at 1 p.m. ET.
“Newsrooms have never been tested more exhaustingly than by the events of this year, and Ellen, Brian and Barb will offer a very illuminating look into how they steered their newsrooms through an ongoing period of uncertainty and a protracted shift to remote production,” Depp said. “The adaptions they’ve made this year will point the entire industry in new directions, and we’ll look closely at the agility newsrooms will need to maintain going forward and the technology they need to realize it.”
